3D Digitization

In the study of cell organization in a maize meristem, direct viewing of confocal optical sections in 3D (by means of 3D projection of the volumetric data set, Figure 1) becomes very difficult and confusing because of the large number of nucleus involved. Numerical description of the cellular organization (e.g. position, size and orientation of each structure) and computer graphic presentation are some of the solutions to effectively study the structure of such a complex system. An attempt at data-reduction by means of manually contouring cell nucleus in 3D was reported (Summers et al., 1990). Apart from being labour intensive, this 3D digitization technique suffers from the inaccuracies of manual 3D tracing related to the depth perception of the operator. However, it does demonstrate that reducing stack of confocal images to a 3D graphic representation helps to visualize and analyze complex tissues (Figure 2). This procedure also significantly reduce computational burden in an interactive operation.

Em Tomography

Any real world object is three-dimensional. The principle of tomography, which reconstructs the 3-D structure of an object from its 2-D projections of different view angles has found application in many disciplines. Electron Microscopic (EM) tomography on non-ordered structures (e.g., subcellular structures in biology and non-crystalline structures in material science) has been exercised sporadically in the last twenty years or so. As vital as is the 3-D structural information and with no existing alternative 3-D imaging technique to compete in its high resolution range, the technique to date remains the kingdom of a brave few. Its tedious tasks have been preventing it from being a routine tool. One keyword in promoting its popularity is automation: The data collection has been automated in our lab, which can routinely yield a data set of over 100 projections in the matter of a few hours. Now the image processing part is also automated. Such automations finish the job easier, faster and better.

Tidal Forcing

The aim of the study is to devise a method to conservatively predict a tidal power generation based on relatively short current profile measurement data sets. Harmonic analysis on a low quality tidal current profile measurement data set only allowed for the reliable estimation of a limited number of constituents leading to a poor prediction of tidal energy yield. Two novel, but very different approaches were taken: firstly a quasi response function is formulated which combines the currents profiles into a single current. Secondly, a three dimensional vectorial tidal forcing model was developed aiming to support the harmonic analysis with upfront knowledge of the actual constituents. The response based approach allowed for a reasonable prediction. The vectorial tidal forcing model proved to be a viable start for a full featuring numerical model; even in its initial simplified form it could provide more insight than the conventional tidal potential models.

Constrained Delaunay Triangulation

The foundation ofdelaunay triangulationandconstrained delaunay triangulationis the basis of three dimensional geographical information system which is one of hot issues of the contemporary era; moreover it is widely applied in finite element methods, terrain modeling and object reconstruction, euclidean minimum spanning tree and other applications. An algorithm for generatingconstrained delaunay triangulationin two dimensional planes is presented. The algorithm permits constrained edges and polygons (possibly with holes) to be specified in the triangulations, and describes some data structures related to constrained edges and polygons. In order to maintain the delaunay criterion largely，some new incremental points are added onto the constrained ones. After the data set is preprocessed, the foundation ofconstrained delaunay triangulationis showed as follows: firstly, the constrained edges and polygons generate initial triangulations，then the remained points completes the triangulation . Some pseudo-codes involved in the algorithm are provided. Finally, some conclusions and further studies are given.

Background: Muscle fibers are arranged in a spiral network and are connected by extracellular matrix (ECM). LV torsion is increased in the pressure overloaded heart where there is an increase in ECM. However, torsion and its relation to ECM have not been systematically studied in the volume overloaded heart. Hypothesis: The volume overloaded heart has a decrease in LV torsion due a loss of ECM. Methods: Primary mitral regurgitation (MR) (n=29), resistant hypertension (HTN) (n=77) and normal volunteers (NL) (n±37) were studied. Comprehensive cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with tissue tagging was performed and analyzed using three-dimensional data set. Torsion was computed by fitting a B-spline deformation model in prolate-spheroidal coordinates to the tag line data. A subset of MR subjects had LV collagen assessed by picric acid Sirius red from biopsy samples taken at the time of surgery. Results: LV ejection fraction was 65% in MR and 70% in HTN. MR demonstrated eccentric remodeling and HTN demonstrated concentric remodeling. HTN had significantly higher torsion angle and systolic twist compared to NL and MR. This was associated with a simultaneous decrease in longitudinal strain. In contrast, MR patients had similar torsion indices, circumferential and longitudinal strains compared to NL. LV biopsy in MR demonstrated a decrease in interstitial collagen compared to NL. Conclusions: As opposed to the pure volume overloaded heart, LV torsional forces are increased in the pressure overloaded heart. This difference may be related to a rearrangement of the laminar structure due to a differential effect on ECM in the volume overloaded versus the pressure overloaded heart.

This paper presents volumetric velocimetry (VV) measurements for a jet in crossflow that is representative of film cooling. VV employs particle tracking to nonintrusively extract all three components of velocity in a three-dimensional volume. This is its first use in a film-cooling context. The primary research objective was to develop this novel measurement technique for turbomachinery applications, while collecting a high-quality data set that can improve the understanding of the flow structure of the cooling jet. A new facility was designed and manufactured for this study with emphasis on optical access and controlled boundary conditions. For a range of momentum flux ratios from 0.65 to 6.5, the measurements clearly show the penetration of the cooling jet into the freestream, the formation of kidney-shaped vortices, and entrainment of main flow into the jet. The results are compared to published studies using different experimental techniques, with good agreement. Further quantitative analysis of the location of the kidney vortices demonstrates their lift off from the wall and increasing lateral separation with increasing momentum flux ratio. The lateral divergence correlates very well with the self-induced velocity created by the wall–vortex interaction. Circulation measurements quantify the initial roll up and decay of the kidney vortices and show that the point of maximum circulation moves downstream with increasing momentum flux ratio. The potential for nonintrusive VV measurements in turbomachinery flow has been clearly demonstrated.

Temporal variability in bedload transport rates and spatial variability in sediment storage have been reported with increasing frequency in recent years. A spatial and temporal classification for these features is suggested based on the gravel bedform classification of Church and Jones (1982). The identified scales, meso-, macro-, and mega- are each broad, and within each there is a wide range of processes acting to produce bedload fluctuations. Sampling the same data set with different sampling intervals yields a near linear relationship between sampling interval and pulse period. A range of modelling strategies has been applied to bed waves. The most successful have been those which allow for the three-dimensional nature of sediment storage processes, and which allow changes in the width and depth of stored sediment. The existence of bed waves makes equilibrium in gravel-bed rivers necessarily dynamic. Bedload pulses and bed waves can be regarded as equilibrium forms at sufficiently long timescales.

Abstract Three-dimensional, multiplanar sonography, using a volume data set acquired with a 3D probe, has revolutionized ultrasonographic imaging and takes sonographers to a new perception of the fetus in 3 dimensions. Real time scanning, until the late nineties only possible in B-mode, can now be performed in 3D with up to 40 frames/sec. Fetal neurology emerged as a new perinatal research field with the 4D visualization of fetal behavior. Doppler ultrasound, diversified and refined from continuous wave and pulsed Doppler to Color – and Power Doppler, when added to 3D sonography, creates fascinating options of noninvasive fetal vascular mapping (sonoangiography) and vascular assessment of placenta. The diagnostic and demonstrative potential of an acquired 3D volume data set can be maxed with the help of postprocessing and rendering software. After storage, the evaluation of fetal 3D data sets can happen without the patient, with the option of specialist consultation, using telemedicine. In the article, the new 3D “modes” like surface rendering, maximum mode, 3D Color and Power Doppler, STIC, volume rendering, and glass body rendering, are described and illustrated in their display of normal fetal anatomy.
